How does fit compare to like an oak or ash for firewood??

 

[Wood Doctor]

Indiana beech trees are excellent for firewood, but nowadays they might be an endangered species. Grandpa had a monster beech growing in his front yard, I will never forget that tree. Fir would not hold a candle to it.

I honestly don’t know. In the south west of BC where I’m at fir is the top firewood.

Has the highest BTU rating for Western Softwood Species,

Weird, I've worked up box elder before and it never had a bad aroma. That stuff cuts like poplar.

"All firewood has about the same BTU per pound. Non resinous wood has around 8000 to 8500 BTU per pound, resinous wood has around 8600 to 9700 BTU per pound. Less dense softwoods have less BTU per cord than more dense hardwood but they also weigh less per cord. Resinous wood has more BTU per pound because the resins have more BTU per pound than wood fiber has" From Firewood resource

I’ve burned Douglas fir that was cut offs from timber frame cants. Burns WAY better then white pine but it’s definitely no sugar maple or white ash but I liked it

Ground was froze again this morning, so I skidded out another ash tree.

I had some luck with putting my name on a list with getchipdrop.com. I must have received 5-6 dump trailers of firewood logs in the last 2 years that way. Alot of tree guys are excited to find a place to unload for free!

Thanks for mentioning that site, I put my name on just in case I could get lucky.. never heard of that before. But likely won't get any as I'm out in the country somewhat. But it was worth a shot so thanks for mentioning it

I hope it works for you as it did for me.

I tried chip drop for a while, even offered to add money, but no bites. I guess it is easy to get rid of chips and logs around here. I wanted the chips.

 

[Khntr85]

I don’t know if you guys have but all all the local tree guys if you have a easy accessible spot to dump you will get someone to bite…hell they have to pay to dump so free really makes them think about it, exspecially if your close…
